As soon as Wu Mei mentioned building a house, Fang Yongqian immediately understood and said to himself: Sure enough, he had guessed that this was the case. He lit the fire calmly and listened to Wu Mei continue to talk.

"Third Grandpa, I pass by Zhao Liangsheng's house every day, and I feel like something is wrong. Today I finally discovered it. Guess what I found?"

Still a woman's curiosity, Fang Yongqian hadn't spoken to him yet, so Mrs. Zhang immediately raised her ears and asked, "What did you find?"

What Fang Yongqian disliked the most was pulling his wife's tongue. He tapped the edge of the spatula with a small wooden stick and reminded: "Turn it over, turn it over. If you don't turn it over, it will get muddy."

"Oh." Mrs. Zhang was busy turning over the pancakes on the griddle.

Wu Mei slapped her thigh fiercely, "I discovered that the materials Zhao Liangsheng used to build his house were the stones from our hillock."

"That's it?" Fang Yongqian asked, "Did you find anything else?"

"Isn't this enough?" Wu Mei looked questioning.

"I say, Yan'er Niang." Old Mrs. Zhang said while turning the pancakes in her hands: "This hillock was contracted by Zhao Liangsheng. If he takes some stones to build a house, it shouldn't be considered as taking advantage of the country, right?"

"Third Grandma, you can't say that." Wu Mei argued with her eyes wide open: "Zhao Liangsheng contracted the hillock to plant trees, but he didn't say that he could also use the stones to build a house, right?" Wu Mei hit her left hand on the back of her right hand.

My heart pounded, "What kind of behavior do you think this is? Isn't this poaching the corner of socialism? You can't just take any needle or thread from the collective things. What he has is bigger than the needle and thread, isn't it? The smaller half of the house is out, that's not it.

What is a moth? Third Grandpa, if you want me to tell you, you have to drag him to the threshing floor and teach him well in front of all the old and young men in the village."

Fang Yongqian sneered in his heart: Wu Mei was afraid of chaos in the world. He knew that Zhao Liangsheng took the stones. When Zhao Liangsheng pulled the stones home, he even explained to him that it would be a waste to throw them at the roots of the trees dug out of the tree.

, let alone what Zhao Liangsheng contracted, even before no one took the contract, anyone who wanted to use stones for building a house would go directly to the hillock to get it, and no one took it seriously. It was just that the stones on it were too difficult to quarry.

Most people are not willing to put in the effort.

Fang Yongqian tilted his head and coughed and said, "I know about Zhao Liangsheng from the Fang Hui family pulling rocks."

"You know! You know how to ignore him?" Wu Mei shouted in disbelief, "Third Grandpa, you can't shield him. If you shield such a bad element, you will make mistakes."

"Who am I shielding? What's your attitude? What's the matter, you still want to go to the line with me?" Fang Yongqian was furious, and he was no longer polite to Wu Mei. He immediately became serious and raised his eyebrows.

He said sternly: "Fang Hui's family, you have to pat your conscience and say, who am I shielding? In the village these years, you have provoked this person, poked at this person, and poked at that person, for the sake of being all relatives, it was not always the case.

I went to wipe your butt, and you said I was covering up others, but I was covering up no one except your family!"

The old man's job as secretary for many years was not for nothing. He Jiwei, his face darkened, and Wu Mei, who was still confident at first, was immediately frightened. She whispered, "Look at what you said, how unpleasant it is. How can you call me that?"

Wipe your butt, what will people think if it gets out? Besides, how can you protect me? Last time Zhao Liangsheng beat me on the door, but in the end it was not my money to accompany you."

Fang Yongqian laughed angrily. What were these old ladies thinking? Mrs. Zhang was busy trying to smooth things over, "Your Third Grandpa, that's a metaphor. Do you know the metaphor?"

Wu Mei muttered, "It can't be said metaphorically."

"Isn't this unpleasant? Why don't you go to the village and ask around to find out how many people there are willing to associate with your family? You are so arrogant that others think you are a dog, and you treat yourself like a green onion all day long. Why don't you just go to the village and ask around?

Can't you feel anything? You still have the nerve to bring up the matter of compensating the old Zhao family. If your child hadn't dug a hole in his daughter's head, would they have come to find you?" Fang Yongqian wanted to teach Wu Mei a lesson today, so he didn't give it to her.

She saved face, "You have to be capable and work hard to live a better life and build a new house. It's better than looking at others with envy all day long."

"Who is jealous? I'm not jealous." Wu Mei was still arguing, "I just can't stand it..."

Before Wu Mei could finish her words, Fang Yongqian waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you know better than to be jealous. I only said a few words to you as a junior. If it were someone else, who would care about this business? I said, Fang

From the Hui family, from now on, you can focus on your own family, take good care of your man and children, and cultivate your family's land. Don't just do things that are too easy to worry about."

This completely subverted Wu Mei's imagination. Shouldn't Third Grandpa immediately summon people to arrest Zhao Liangsheng? Why did he say something to her even though he was so angry? Not only did he say something, but he also said it so unpleasantly, Wu Mei

Although she was a shrewd old woman, she still had self-respect. At that time, she became anxious, "Grandma's! Who is it? Who is chewing my tongue behind my back? Third Grandpa, tell me and I will tear his mouth open."

"Who do you call me mother?" Fang Yongqian glared, "Don't care who said it, just live your life well from now on and don't cause any trouble for me."

"I was talking about being bald." Wu Mei smiled flatteringly, "Third Grandpa, don't be angry."

This sounds nice, tell me not to be angry. As long as I don't see you, I won't be angry. Fang Yongqian said impatiently: "Do you have anything else to do? If you have nothing else, just go home and cook without looking.

Look what time it is, the kid isn’t hungry!”

Wu Mei saw that it was useless to stay here any longer, so she had no choice but to leave reluctantly, "Oh, third grandpa, you are busy, third grandma, I will go home first."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly rolled up a roll of baked pancakes and handed it to her, "Mother Yan'er, go home and bring it to Yan'er to eat."

"Hey." Wu Mei took the pancakes unceremoniously, then walked out of the courtyard and went home.

Watching Wu Mei leave the courtyard, Fang Yongqian shook his head: Becoming a relative with her is a bloody misfortune that has lasted me eight lifetimes.

Wu Mei's goal was not achieved, but she was beaten by a bear. She was so angry that she went out and took a bite of the pancake, chewing it in her mouth as if she was eating someone's meat. She even drew a little figure in her heart.

, imagine it as Zhao Liangsheng, poking a needle all the way home, passing by Zhao Liangsheng's new house, spitting hard, and cursed: "I will let you build it halfway and then it will collapse and kill you."

Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wishes. Not to mention that the house of Zhao Liangsheng's family did not collapse, but it was built smoothly. The elegant two-story building can be seen from a distance. Wu Mei only needs to go out and cross the ridge of the roof.

It's really heartbreaking to see the small building standing there safely.

Zhao Liangsheng's new house also caused a sensation in the village. It is a two-story building with a rural style and is also the first two-story building in the village. The integrity of the house is very good and it feels very solid.

The gate abandoned the traditional single wooden door and used red double doors. There was also a stone tablet erected beside the door with the words "Taishan Shigandang" written in five large red characters.

Entering the courtyard gate, there is a path paved with cement. There are vegetable gardens on both sides of the path. All the areas bordering the cement floor are made of old bricks that have been removed and placed diagonally to form a flower border.

Pushing open the door of the house, the first thing that comes into view is a large living room. This is completely different from the layout of the old house. The old house also has three rooms. The middle one is the main room. This room is used for eating and entertaining guests. The ones on both sides

It is the bedroom. In the new house, the three rooms are first divided into two rooms on the left and right, and then divided into two rooms on the front and back. The two rooms on the right are a large bedroom and a bathroom respectively, the front on the left is the living room, and the back is the kitchen and

Restaurant.

Go up the middle staircase to the second floor. On the sunny side are three bedrooms next to each other, and on the north side are a bathroom and a small living room.

The layout of the entire house is compact and reasonable, and it is plain yet exquisite. Every villager who came to visit praised it. When Wu Mei heard about it, it made her even more heartbroken.

From then on, the small building of Zhao Liangsheng's family became a template for the village. Any building with two floors must follow the layout of Zhao Liangsheng's family.

The happiest thing was the two brothers Zhao Yu. How could the two brothers have ever lived upstairs when they were so old? The two of them had fun running upstairs and downstairs, especially when they heard their parents talking about the three people upstairs.

They were given a room to choose from. From now on, each of them had a room, and they were even more scrambling to pick the room they liked.

"I want this room." Zhao Chen pointed to the eastmost room and said.

Zhao Yu originally wanted the first room, but his younger brother chose it. As the eldest brother, he couldn't compete with his younger brother, so he pointed to the room next to him and said, "Then I want this one."

The two brothers had chosen a room and were about to go downstairs when Zhao Chen changed his mind again, "Brother, I don't want that room anymore. Let's switch."

Zhao Chen thought this way. They have three children in their family. The three rooms upstairs must be one for each of them. Now that the two brothers have finished choosing, the remaining room must be reserved for their sister. Then he

He couldn't choose the easternmost room. He wanted to be next to his sister's room, so he changed his mind temporarily and didn't want the easternmost room.

On the way back to his old house, Zhao Chen didn't forget to tell Yan Siqin, "Mom, my sister will live upstairs when she comes back, right? Then I want to have a room next to my sister's."

Zhao Liangsheng and his wife looked at each other and gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Both parents agreed, it must be true, and Zhao Chen jumped away happily.

Looking at his son's running back, Yan Siqin said to Zhao Liangsheng: "Last time you said that Captain Li had sent the address of Keke's family and said he would send a letter to their family. I don't know if there was a reply..."

"I don't know." Zhao Liangsheng replied: "They are so busy, I don't have the nerve to ask."
